2 Service, Repair, and Return Policies and Instructions The information contained in this document supersedes all similar information that may be found elsewhere in this manual. Service Due to the sophisticated nature of the sensors and associated instrumentation provided by PCB Piezotronics, user servicing or repair is not recommended and, if attempted, may void the factory warranty. Routine maintenance, such as the cleaning of electrical connectors, housings, and mounting surfaces with solutions and techniques that will not harm the physical material of construction, is acceptable. Caution should be observed to ensure that liquids are not permitted to migrate into devices that are not hermetically sealed. Such devices should only be wiped with a dampened cloth and never submerged or have liquids poured upon them. Repair In the event that equipment becomes damaged or ceases to operate, arrangements should be made to return the equipment to PCB Piezotronics for repair. User servicing or repair is not recommended and, if attempted, may void the factory warranty. Calibration Routine calibration of sensors and associated instrumentation is recommended as this helps build confidence in measurement accuracy and acquired data. Equipment calibration cycles are typically established by the users own quality regimen. When in doubt about a calibration cycle, a good rule of thumb is to recalibrate on an annual basis. It is also good practice to recalibrate after exposure to any severe temperature extreme, shock, load, or other environmental influence, or prior to any critical test. PCB Piezotronics maintains an ISO certified metrology laboratory and offers calibration services, which are accredited by A2LA to ISO/IEC 17025, with full traceability to SI through N.I.S.T. In addition to the normally supplied calibration, special testing is also available, such as: sensitivity at elevated or cryogenic temperatures, phase response, extended high or low frequency response, extended range, leak testing, hydrostatic pressure testing, and others. For information on standard recalibration services or special testing, contact your local PCB Piezotronics distributor, sales representative, or factory customer service representative.

6 OPERATION MANUAL FOR QUARTZ PRESSURE SENSORS SERIES 102 SERIES INTRODUCTION This series of miniature dynamic pressure sensors is specifically designed for shock tube and blast wave measurements and for other applications requiring very high frequency, near non-resonant response. The term used to describe the transient response of this model series is Frequency Tailoring and it encompasses several mechanical and electrical design features coupled with stringent in-process fabrication/test procedures with heavy emphasis on the shock tube as a tool. 2.0 DESCRIPTION Although this series consists of sensors with three basic mechanical configurations and six different sensitivities, each model is basically similar in internal design. The figure above shows the components of the basic ICP probe, i.e. the piezoelectric element and the ICP source follower amplifier. These components are joined together as an inseparable sealed assembly at the factory. Disassembly should not be attempted in the field. Series 113B2x are in a probe configuration and are installed with a hollow clamp nut with 5/16-24 external threads. The housing of these models is at electrical ground potential. Series 113B3x are similar to the B2x Series with an additional feature; all Invar construction. The all Invar sensors are designed to have minimal susceptibility to thermal transient events and are specifically suited for high-temperature shock and blast measurements. Connector + _ Potting Mounting Clamp Nut Acceleration Compensation Mass and Plate Quartz Plates M Intergrated Circuit Amplifier Seal Ring Preload Sleeve Electrodes Housing Dia Diaphragm Series 113: Probe Style Sensor Typical ICP Probe Style Sensor Each utilizes the acceleration-compensated Series 113 quartz piezoelectric element coupled to a source follower type miniature electronics. (See General Guide to ICP Instrumentation, G-0001B, for a detailed description of the ICP concept.) Drawing Number: Revision: C ECN Number: Series 102 consist of the basic 113 Series probe, as in the above mentioned series, mounted in a 3/8-24 threaded mounting adaptor. The probe is installed at the factory in an "off ground" configuration, i.e. the probe body is insulated from the external mounting adaptor body. The Model 102A12 utilizes the same inner probe design as the above two designs but in a 3/8-24

7 OPERATION MANUAL FOR QUARTZ PRESSURE SENSORS SERIES 102 SERIES threaded adaptor with floating clamp nut to allow adjustment of diaphragm mounting depth where it is necessary to adapt to various wall thicknesses. These models are supplied only as low-pressure (250 psi and 100 psi) sensors and are also "off ground". Models 102A21 and 102A22 are high-temperature ICP versions to 400 F (204 C), with a 3/8-24 straight threads adaptor and 1/8-27 NPT adaptor, respectively. Common black vinyl electrical tape has been found to be an effective insulating material in many cases. One or more layers may be used across the end of diaphragm and adaptor. A silicone rubber coating approximately.010 thick has also been proven effective in many applications. General Electric RTV type 106 is recommended. Apply the rubber coating to the surface of the diaphragm and allow it to cure in accordance with the manufacturer s instructions. (If you have ordered the CA option, ablative coated models, further protection will not be necessary.) Although ICP sensors have low-output impedance and in general are not affected by moisture, in extreme environments it is good practice to protect cable connections with shrink tubing. Series 102: Thread Mount Design, Ground- Isolated Sensor 3.0 INSTALLATION This manual contains outline and installation information for your specific model. Prepare mounting ports in accordance with instructions given in specific installation drawings, paying particular attention to sealing surfaces. These surfaces must be smooth and free from chatter marks, nicks and other irregularities which could preclude a pressure tight seal. To fully realize the high-frequency response capabilities of this sensor series, flush mounting of the diaphragm must be used. In some cases, where flash temperatures such as those generated by blasts and shock fronts are present, it may be necessary to thermally insulate the diaphragm to minimize signals generated by these effects. It is not necessary to use low-noise cable with this sensor series. In fact, an optional Model 070B09 Solder Connector Adaptor allows the use of ordinary two-wire cable if desired. 4.0 OPERATION It is only necessary to supply the sensor with a 2 to 20 ma constant current at +20 to +30 VDC through a current-regulating diode or equivalent circuit. (See guide G-0001B for powering and signal utilization information pertaining to all ICP instrumentation). Most of the signal conditioners manufactured by PCB have an adjustable current feature allowing a choice of input currents from 2 to 20 ma. In general, for lowest noise (best resolution), choose the lower current ranges. For driving long cables (to several thousand feet), use higher current, up to 20 ma maximum. To operate system using a PCB signal conditioner: 1. Switch power on. 2. Wait several minutes for the IC amplifier to turn on and stabilize. 3. Proceed with measurements.

8 OPERATION MANUAL FOR QUARTZ PRESSURE SENSORS SERIES 102 SERIES POLARITY The sensors in this series produce a positive-going output voltage for increasing pressure input. calibrator or dead weight tester and readout is by recorder or storage oscilloscope. PCB offers a complete calibration service. Consult factory for details. 6.0 LOW-FREQUENCY RESPONSE The low-frequency response of an ICP determined by: system is 1. The discharge T.C. of the sensor 2. If AC-coupled at power unit, the coupling time constant. Consult Section 7.0 in guide G-0001B detailed explanation of low-frequency characteristics of ICP instruments. 7.0 HIGH-FREQUENCY RESPONSE Frequency tailoring and the very high-natural frequency of the sensor give an extremely wide usable frequency range (beyond 100 khz). Exceptionally fast response time (1 µsec) and clean, virtually non-resonant response to rapid step functions are also features of these sensors. As mentioned previously, the diaphragm must be flushmounted to fully realize the high-frequency response capabilities of this series. 8.0 CALIBRATION Piezoelectric sensors are dynamic devices, but static calibration means can be employed if discharge time constants are sufficiently long. Generally, static methods are not employed below several hundred seconds time constant. ICP is a registered trademark of PCB Piezotronics To employ static means, direct couple the sensor to the DVM readout using a T-Connector from the sensor jack or use the Model 484B in the calibrate mode. Apply pressure with dead weight tester and take readings quickly. Release pressure after each calibration point. For the shorter time constant, rapid step functions of pressure are generated by a pneumatic pressure pulse Drawing Number: Revision: C ECN Number: 47023
